A brilliant #FungiFriday treat for us - a Collared Earthstar found at our Centre of the Earth headquarters in Winson Green! Real stars of the woodland floor, some Native American tribes called them ka-ka-toos, meaning "fallen stars”, and believed them to be stars fallen to Earth! #FungiFriends

Fantastic to find these stunning Scarlet Elf Cups at Hill Hook nature reserve in Sutton Coldfield! It is said that wood elves would drink the morning dew from within this fabulous fungi! Now's the time to spot them on fallen sticks amongst the leaves, especially in damp places.

Some #mushrooms exude slime, the stipe of this #fungus looks almost glass like. The wet appearance gives this #fungi its common name. 🍄:Dripping Bonnet 🔬:(Roridomyces roridus) 📏:Cap ~8mm 📍:Birmingham, UK #macroaddicts #macro #macrophotography #nature #wildlife #mycology #mushroom #fungifriends

Birch polypore at Bagworth heath. Didn’t realise how useful these were…edible,anti-inflammatory, carry burning embers for fire starting and was used for sharpening knives if you didn’t have leather! #fungi @westmidsfungi.bsky.social

Clavicorona taxophila - Yew Club. A rarely recorded species. At first glance it looks like a more common Clavaria but with a flattened, slightly indented top. #fungiFriends #UKWildlife
